    About this ebook

    Colorful and whimsical, this tale aims to put fears to rest and emphasize the important role of family, friends, and caregivers in the life of every cancer patient. On one level, it is a children's story that allays anxiety and explains how kids can help their parents through treatment and recovery. On another level, it is a parable for all that uses the metaphor of a circus to illustrate how friends, family, and caregivers—through their actions, deeds, and support—can add threads to the patient's and family's safety nets as they participate in the high-wire act that is cancer.

    Jim Owens

    I grew up in Western North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Mountains. True events of my exciting life, what I call "growing up in the fast lane", with adventure, romance and street drag racing qualifies me to tell the story to people who actually experienced those times as I did and to new generations about those magical times in the 1960's. Even though time has marched along and big changes have come for me and America, I can never forget growing up barefoot with the dirt between my toes, the smell of cotton-candy at the county fair, fried chicken on Sunday, home-made ice cream or cutting into a cold watermelon with the family. I'm a lifelong native of the county I was born in. These are the things that made me who I am today, and the reason I wish to share them.
